Yummy Catfish & Shrimp Chowder image

I've been thinking about making a fish stew for like forever. Today I found some frozen catfish and shrimp in the walk-in, and I thought: Why not now. This soup comes together quickly, and after you prep your ingredients, you can have it from stovetop to table in under 30 minutes... So yummy. So, you ready... Let's get into...

This chowder is a great way to use up leftover catfish and shrimp. It's also a very affordable meal.

I'm not sure why this recipe has so many positive reviews. I found it to be very bland and uninspired.

This chowder is a waste of time and money. It's not flavorful and it's not creamy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This chowder is way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to it to make it edible.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chowder turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This chowder is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less cayenne pepper next time.

I've made this chowder several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it's always delicious. I usually add a little extra spice to mine, but that's just my personal preference.
